Kershaw 7038BLU LAUNCH IRIDIUM Folding knife
I LOVE THIS KNIFE !!! I will use this knife as a cardboard killer and a plastic paralyzed . I luv the fit and finish, the color,shape of the blade; and the main reason , its in Magnacut. I was very pleasantly surprised and shocked when I first deployed the blade!! It rockets out like no bodies business!! (It almost flew out of my hand 😄☺️). KEEP up the good work KERSHAW!! THANKS K.

Great value
Lightweight like the original Iridium but with Magnacut for a very reasonable price at least for now. Rides well in the pocket due to slim profile and light weight.

Almost Great
This knife is almost great. I love the look and feel. The blade is thin with a good back bevel to make it slicey, but wide enough to give it some strength, and the spear point shape is great for all-around use for every day carry. The anodization on the handle is beautiful and it locks up well with no blade play.. Where it falls short to me is on the action. Unlike my Launch 11, which feels quite snappy in hand, this blade is slow to deploy. I feel like maybe they didn't compensate for the larger heavier blade and the spring just doesn't have enough umph to fling the blade out with authority.
